I.E. on the State Department's treatment of the colony formerly known as Rhodesia versus their treatment of Israel.

Steve Sailer has done seven posts so far on Stanley Fischer, nominated for Vice Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank and Fischer's role as Bank of Israel Governor. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] As Steve has pointed out, this seems unlikely to be controversial.

If you want to know something that could be controversial about Fischer, it's this: he was born in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia)and lived in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), both of them white-ruled British Colonies at that time.

Having a black maid

Having a black houseboy, and calling him that

Employing native labor

Military service, even at the level of Junior ROTC (called CCF in the British Empire)
